You may be experiencing problems if you are located directly below a transmission site as the antennas have beam patterns and downward degrees of tilt. Dependent on height of antennas you may not have god signal strength for 60-100mtrs away from the structure.

It’s basically like a first come, first serve system.

The switcher at the base station can guage your data usage because of that. An AM/FM radio tower and TV transmission towers simply transmit, they do not recieve.

Mon, 14 Mar 2011 20:07:00 +0000http://www.technogog.com/information/how-stuff-works-cell-phone-towers/#comment-45172I want to know how the cell phone carriers are able to charge each users for using air waves and how we can overcome this technicality. When I turn on my radio, I can listen for days and I’m only charged for the electricity that comes through the house. If I stay away from “paidTV” I can watch what I want which is basically news and weather at no charge and of course if I want to watch a “current” movie…I can rent a dvd. I want to be able to use a communication device without being charged monthly for it.
